All right, thank you, Natasha Owens. That is great stuff. It's time for my opening commentary. It's titled President Trump, great job with Greenland. But what if that's just the opening warm up event? The main event is maga. Make Alberta great again. I know virtually nothing about Greenland, like most Americans, but President Trump plays chess while the rest of DC Plays checkers. So if President Trump has determined Greenland is vital to US national security interests, I am all in. And it appears Trump has pulled it off. His non stop, relentless pursuit of Greenland has resulted in the framework for a deal to somewhat, or maybe somewhat, or maybe fully control Greenland. At worst, America will gain new military bases to protect our flank from attack by Russia or China. Bravo, President Trump. Well played as usual. But I've argued for years now on TV and radio shows that Alberta, Canada should become our 51st state. Alberta blows Greenland away in every way. So while Greenland may be strategically important to us and we want to control it, it also presents several negatives. Greenland could become a U.S. territory, but it should never become our 51st state. First, because a large percentage of the people of Greenland live below the poverty level and have spent their lifetimes depending on government checks. Greenland is built around the Denmark welfare state model. Second, because once Greenland is a part of America, voters who are dependent on welfare their whole lives would almost certainly vote Democrat. Therefore, adding two new Democrat U.S. senators. Greenland is another Puerto Rico. 47% of Puerto Ricans are on welfare. The current highest state in America for percentage on welfare is New Mexico. With 20% of its citizens on welfare. The last thing we need is Puerto rico as our 51st state. All it would add to America is a ton of welfare spending and two new Democrat U.S. senators. Why would Greenland be any different? So in the best of all worlds, President Trump gains control of Greenland or access to anything he wants in Greenland. More land for US Military bases. But we don't own Greenland, we don't want to pay their welfare bill, and we don't want to lose U.S. senate control by adding two new Democrat senators. But Alberta is everything Greenland is not. Alberta is the polar opposite of Greenland. Alberta is the perfect 51st state. After President Trump puts the finishing touches on his winning Greenland negotiations, he should set his sights on making Alberta part of The United States. Why Alberta? Well, first their politics. Alberta is the most conservative province in Canada. Alberta is the closest thing Canada has to maga. Alberta is pro fossil fuel. Alberta is anti climate change, anti carbon taxes and anti environmental economic suicide. Alberta is pro gut. Alberta is anti hire taxes and regulation. Alberta rebelled against Canada's draconian pandemic lockdowns, masks, business closures, church closures and vaccine mandates. Those are our kind of people. But wait, it gets better. Calgary's percentage of citizens on welfare and Alberta's percentage of citizens on welfare, very low. 4.1%. Fantastic. Again, our kind of people. And then there's the most important selling point of all, natural resources. Alberta is rich in oil, natural gas, gold, silver, diamonds, lumber, rare earth minerals and critical minerals. Now think of all the oil and gas pipelines we could build directly from Alberta to America. Adding Alberta to America would make us the most oil rich nation in the world by a mile. Alberta is the American dream. But wait, I'm not done. As an added bonus, Alberta is just as important to our national security as Greenland. Did you know that NORAD bases in the northern part of Alberta are essential to our US national security? And Alberta is the gateway to the all important Arctic that every superpower, China, Russia, America suddenly wants to control. I've saved the best news for last. Timing is everything in life. And at this moment in time, Alberta wants to leave Canada. They're in full scale revolt. Alberta citizens are standing in hours long lines in sub zero temperatures and snow and ice and in the dark to sign the petition to put a referendum on the ballot to leave Canada. They need 177,000 signatures to put it on the ballot. But the organizers say they're going to get over 1 million. Right now they're getting 10,000 signatures a day. No one could believe their eyes. No one has ever seen such long lines in the cold or such enthusiasm. The people of Alberta want to leave Canada now. President Trump, now's the time. Timing is everything. Let's make a deal. Let's make an offer. Alberta is our perfect 51st state. This is the moment to make the offer and to be relentless. And we'd almost certainly gain two new Republican U.S. senators with Alberta as our 51st state. I think it's meant to be because look at the perfect fit for maga. Make Alberta great again. It fits if we have to. Let's trade California for Alberta and if need be, add two players to be named later. Throw in Oregon and Washington. I'm only kidding. Sort of. So, President Trump, after you're done with your opening warm up event, the Greenland Deal. Please aim your full attention and relentless mindset on the main event, adding Alberta as our 51st state and a P.S. even if this will never happen or can never happen, even if it's impossible, Canada won't let Alberta go. Think of how wonderful it will be to drive the Marxist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the woke Liberals of Canada into fits of rage and give them all time record high levels of Trump Derangement Syndrome. That alone is worth the price of admission. MAGA Make Alberta Great Again.

Time to start America's top 10 countdown. Number 10. We are getting so ripped off. It's becoming clearer and clearer. Democrats have weaponized the whole US government to steal and loot taxpayer money by the billions of over time it adds up to trillions just A few headlines. Illegal aliens cost Texas hospitals over $1 billion in 2025. Multiply that times 50 states. It's insanity. 4,000 licensed daycares exist in a 20 mile radius in Boston. Half of them open since 2020. You know what that means? Since Biden became President, over four years, they opened 4,000 daycares. You know it's all wasted. Stolen money. California man arrested for allegedly stealing millions in homeless funds. He was supposed to be taking care of homeless people to use the money to buy for down payment on a $7 million mansion and to buy $125,000. Range Rover. Radical left, globalist, anti ICE activist who helped storm the Minnesota church. Collected over a million dollars running a scam anti poverty nonprofit. They're all mad and they all hate Trump and they all want to stop this because they're getting rich off of scamming, stealing, defrauding and looting the taxpayers. Dr. Oz says Minnesota fraud cover up reaches the highest levels of state government. You know that means Tim Walsh and the mayor of Minnesota, mayor of Minneapolis. And finally, they're not just ripping you off by stealing your money from organizations and from government agencies. They're ripping you off with green energy. In Maryland, there is a power bill crisis. People are starving. People are literally freezing in their homes. They can't pay their electric bills because of green energy. One person says, I'm $6,000 behind. How am I going to pay my Bill? This month, 14,000 residents cry for help online. This is what Democrats and liberal thinking and green energy and climate change BS has done to us. Countdown number nine. All right, forget the theft, the fraud, the lobbying, that's all important. But even more important, the Democrat party hates you, hates me, hates anyone who loves this country. Hates maga. Just a few headlines. Jury nullification. Far left jury in Chicago finds a Latin King's gang leader who ordered the murder for hire. Plot of a Border patrol leader, Greg Bevino. Right, that's the Border patrol leader. He wanted to murder him. And they find him not guilty. It's jury nullification. Insurrection. Minnesota Democrat Congresswoman Angie Craig says local cities are telling business owners to call 911 when they see ICE so local police can stop ICE from rounding up illegals. Five white tech workers eating lunch in a deli in Minneapolis are trying to eat their lunch and a mob comes and screams, get out of our effing neighborhood. I hope you die. They think they're ICE, but they're tech workers. This is how ICE is treated. Dr. Oz himself. Dr. Oz is flipped off, followed and threatened, has his car surrounded while investigating child welfare fraud. In Minneapolis, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez announces the Melt ICE act to defund ICE and prevent immigrants from being detained and accuses ICE of being murderers. Leftist activists admits to leading a 20,000 strong ICE watch network to dox ICE agents in salt Lake City. In other words, give out their name and home address so some leftists will go murder the ICE agent, his wife, his children. New York City cops disrespected at Big Apple Hospital after being mistaken for ICE agents. The employees of the hospital scream, get out of here. You're not wanted here. Ohio nurse post disturbing wish for the upcoming birth of White House Press Secretary Karen Levitt's baby. The good news is, as of Friday, she was fired from the hospital. It just goes on and on and on. Chris Cuomo tries to act moderate. He warned CNN Scott Jennings over his refusal to stop using the terms illegals. He says, don't be a tough guy. Someone's probably going to wind up getting even with you. What is he intimating? Because you use the word illegals, you're going to get punched in the face. Chris Cuomo is not a moderate. He is an extreme radical Marxist. Countdown number eight. As opposed to President Trump, who loves America, loves US Citizens, loves patriots and keeps his promises. There are charts out there of Trump's first year of his second term. He made promises of economic growth. The economy is growing leaps and bounds. He promised he'd get inflation under control. He's gotten under control, 1.6% inflation in the last three months. He promised a trade would be better since peaking at 136 billion. US trade deficit fell to 29 billion, the lowest in 16 years. Employment, all the illegals losing their jobs. American citizens getting jobs. Gas prices lowest in at least four years since Trump was president. Mortgage rates and interest rates dropping. And as far as the border, border crossings plummet 95% from the Biden era, the lowest in history. Here's one more. Trump being the great patriot. The IRS announces that $1,776 warrior dividend for all our troops. They all got it in December. I walked in a bank and the bank teller is a friend of mine. Her son is in the United States Army. He Already had his 1776 Warrior Dividend bonus and he used it to buy a new pickup truck. God bless Trump. God bless America. God bless the military. Trump announces. And the IRS announces that that entire bonus is tax free.
Public Investing Sponsor/Announcer
Wow.
Wayne Allen Root
We love our warriors. Countdown number seven. I'm always tough on Attorney General Pam Bondi. And the GOP Congress, who both have done far too little, in my opinion. But this week they both got their asses in gear. It's almost as if they know midterms are coming and they got to do something. At Pam Bondi's direction, the FBI arrest two key leftists involved in the evil attack on the church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Good job, Pam Bondi. Good job. What else is happening? How about Ilmar Omar under federal investigation as the House GOP probes how she made millions while in Congress. Busted California order to return $1 billion after a Dr. Oz led audit exposes federal health care funds were spent on illegals. House Republicans passed a reconciliation bill banning welfare for illegal aliens. And House Oversight Committee votes to charge both Bill and Hillary Clinton with criminal contempt for defying congressional subpoenas. Good job. This week, countdown number six. Takes on the world in Davos. He tells them the 2020 election was stolen and people will soon be prosecuted for what they did. And he tells the Canadian prime minister, canada lives because of the United States. Always remember that. Bravo, President Trump. Countdown number five. And whatever happened to global warming? Another liberal scam. I'm sorry that you're all suffering this weekend and for the next 10 to 14 days, but guess what? This is the most massive winter storm and freeze that we've seen in perhaps 40 years, maybe in a century if the weather forecasts are right as I record this show, this is going to be an incredible snow, ice freezing event for two thirds of the country, the worst in 40 years. There is no global warming. It was always a scam, but I hope you keep warm. All right. This segment has been sponsored by Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. The golden age of Trump prosperity is all about making America the energy capital of the world. Enter Lost Soldier Oil and gas. It took 40 years to piece together this 40,000 acre giant gas discovery in Wyoming. It's estimated to contain up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas. Trillion. Making it one of the largest natural gas discoveries in the Rocky Mountain region in the past 30 years. With a management forecast projecting just the first 25 wells to produce 400 million cubic feet per day of natural gas. And by 2035, targeted production of over a billion cubic feet per day. This surge in AI data centers is placing soaring demand on energy resources. This is how we solve the problem. This is how we power the future of America with inexpensive, clean natural gas. Headed by oil and gas legend Mark Bruner, whose previous public companies delivered spectacular returns for investors at their peaks. Pedico Energy grew about 100 to 1 for investors. Ultra Petroleum soared from $0.15 to $200 per share at its peak. A $10,000 investment turned into 13 million over 10 years.

Wayne Allen Root
All right, welcome back. The Root. The Root. The Roots on fire. I'm Wayne Ally Root. This is America's Top 10 Countdown. Root for America.com is the website. You can email me anytime. Wainrootgmail.com this is our interview segment. Great guest today. Trisha McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Lots of controversy in the news. Trisha, welcome to the show. How are you?
Trisha McLaughlin
Wayne, thank you so much for having me on. Great to be a first time guest.
Wayne Allen Root
It's our honor to have you on. Democrats and the media are describing ICE operation going on in Minneapolis as a Nazi like Gestapo organization. First of all I'm Jewish so I resent them even saying that. How disgusting that is. Our great law enforcement doing a great job in my opinion. But you describe what's happening. Tricia.
Trisha McLaughlin
What our law enforcement officers are doing on the ground is enforcing the rule of law and protecting those American citizens when Tim Walls and Jacob Fry have refused to do so time and time again as we speak. Wayne, there are 1,360 criminal legal aliens sitting in Minneapolis's jail, sitting in their custody, and yet they will not turn them over to ice. And in fact, in the last year alone, Tim Wallace turned over 470 criminal legal aliens, that includes child pedophiles, drug traffickers, thieves, burglars, sexual predators, back onto Minneapolis street. So that's why we have to have a presence there, because we don't have the backing of state and local law enforcement. But the demonization you're talking about of our law enforcement calling them Gestapo, calling them Nazis, these disgusting names, well, that is contributing directly to the fact that they are seeing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them. Death threats are up 8,000%. Their families are being doxed, their children, where they go to school, where their spouses work. It's spiraling out of control.
Wayne Allen Root
How is this ICE operation in Minneapolis different than any other city?
Trisha McLaughlin
Well, part of it is that we don't have the backing of state and local law enforcement. So you see, when you see this violence and obstruction on the ground, those are federal crimes. And yet when our law enforcement calls for backup as they carry out their lawful duties, if they're being assaulted, attacked, or obstructed, those state and local law enforcement officers are not able to come to our backing. They're really sitting ducks left to set out on their own. So We've made about 13,000 arrest this last year in Minnesota, but then you look at Texas or you look at Florida, and Florida, we've made 40,000 arrests, and yet you don't see riots there. You see peace, you see calm, and you see public safety. And that's what it means when you have the backing of state and local law enforcement.
Wayne Allen Root
I didn't see any riots when Obama was president, the ultimate liberal Democrat, Marxist president, and he literally deported millions and millions of illegals. And no one brought up the fact that most of them were not vicious criminals. They were just illegals who were working and moms and dads, and no one said a word. What's the difference, Trisha?
Trisha McLaughlin
Well, I think that's because they're putting politics in their own agenda ahead of public safety. I don't understand how anyone could be protesting or rioting or really backing these criminals that we're taking off of the street each and every day. And the fact of the matter is, 70% of those illegal aliens that we've removed from this country have either prior criminal conviction or pending criminal charges against them. So it is the lion's share of these individuals who have a criminal history in the United States alone. But, Wayne, the important piece is that doesn't even include people who are wanted for crimes in their country of origin or third country. It doesn't include known or suspected terrorists. This is simply 70% is only those who have rap sheets here in the United States or have been caught.
Wayne Allen Root
I watched exhibit A. I saw a video of people accosting an ICE agent as he was trying to go after someone in an apartment building. And he said, are you people crazy? We're here to arrest a child rapist, and the people are trying to obstruct him. Like they. Like child rapists. If they're illegal aliens, it's okay. This is insanity. They're using the word abducted. Are any of your ICE agents abducting anybody? Trisha?
Trisha McLaughlin
Oh, of course not. That's another six smear. They are carrying out the rule of law. And by the way, if people want to peacefully protest, they should feel free to do so. But that's something that would actually be productive to do is lobby your members of Congress to change the law, because that's exactly what these DHS law enforcement officers are doing. They are enforcing the rule of law. That's on the bucks in Congress. And so to demonize, to vilify, to obstruct is simply playing into the hands of these criminals that we're trying to remove.
Wayne Allen Root
We've got a Governor Tim Wall, some Mayor Jacob Frey. How much are they responsible for this? Incredible. I would call it an insurrection, I would call it treason against the United States of America. Are they the ones that are inciting all of this? No.
Trisha McLaughlin
Absolutely. They've emboldened these violent rioters. We've seen that time and time again. But we're also seeing the reason that we have these riots at all is because we have to have a presence on the ground. Because, again, they are not allowing state and local law enforcement. They are barring them from working for us, whether it mean giving us backup as we conduct these lawful operations or whether it's letting us into these jails. That should be so simple. Wayne. This should not be a Republican or Democrat issue. This should be an American issue. This is about public safety, and yet they make it about politics.
Wayne Allen Root
It's amazing. I've got four kids. I've got two daughters and two sons, and I just can't understand how anybody cannot see that President Trump and your wonderful Agency, Department of Homeland Security are trying to make the streets of America safe for our sons and our daughters and our mothers and our fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers. You guys are heroes, Trisha. And it's just amazing that anybody would treat you the way they are. Heroes being called Gestapo and Nazis. It just shows how insane the left is. How is this all going to end in Minnesota? President Trump will not give in and pull out, correct?
Trisha McLaughlin
No, he's not going. He's not going to bend the knee. I mean, we'll have ICE and CBP officers in Minneapolis forever because we always have had a presence there. As far as the size of that footprint goes, I think time will tell. We're still seeing that there is scores of pedophiles and drug traffickers and violent criminals that we need to get out. We still have targets left to get. There's about 13,000 arrests so far and more coming. But, Wayne, I think something that we haven't talked as much about, and we were just three weeks ago talking about this a ton, was the rampant fraud that we've seen out of Minneapolis. And that's gone on right under the nose of Tim Walls and Jacob Fry. We have Homeland Security investigators surged there, about 300 of them that are looking and following their lead, that they're finding quite a bit, a lot of patterns going on. And we hope to give that information to the American people soon so they can have answers and they can have accountability and justice.
Wayne Allen Root
Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, Trisha McLaughlin and the DHS and Border Security and ICE agents, all of them are heroes in my eyes. And I know all the people watching this show feel the same way. Trisha, we thank you. We appreciate you. We love you for everything you're doing, for putting all your lives on the line fighting for America. Thank you. And thank God for your presence.
Trisha McLaughlin
Well, thank God for our law enforcement. Thank you so much, Wayne.
Wayne Allen Root
All right. We hope you'll be back again soon. All right. Thank Trisha McLaughlin for coming on the show. Assistant DHS Secretary. And, you know, I wanted to mention my book, Trump Rules, because I wrote this five years ago and I said, this is the most relentless human being in the history of mankind. It's about the rules of success of Donald Trump. His number one rule is to be relentless. There is no other president that could have ever been relentless in the face of the media and Hollywood and social media and all the people out there calling him Hitler and Gestapo and Nazi. Thank President Trump, man. He is it. He is the toughest hombre Ever. He is the most relentless human being ever. Thank you President Trump for getting the illegals off our streets in the face of all these crazy people. Up next, great interview with Andrew Eaton. Goldgate Capital Gold closed Friday.

Silver recently at all time highs breaking past $90 an ounce, headed fast for a hundred. What's going on?
Andrew Eaton
There's a recent surge in silver demand. We're seeing a really short supply and an even increasing industrial demand on the metal. We're seeing a huge increase in the demand in the AI industry which is rapidly growing. And right now the demand is actually outpaced supply for five consecutive years, which is a huge reason why prices are increasing at the rate that they are huge financial advisors, economists like Peter Schiff are saying that silver could even reach as high as $2 per ounce. They're saying this is because of the short supply and the increasing demand. And even banks have shifted their attention into it like JP Morgan Chase. They've moved their short term silver positions into long term silver positions, which just shows their confidence in the length of the silver rally. And in my opinion, it's just getting started.
Wayne Allen Root
I'm counting on it because as you know, I bought a ton of gold and silver from you at Gold Gate Capital. So I'm counting on that. Appreciation for my fans who want to put silver in their IRA, 401k SEP IRAs. What's the easiest way to do it?

All right. Wayne Allen Root Final Four Time this is the segment you wait for every week. The first Final four. And we will start with number four. All right. Remember my prediction that the Trump economy would be rip roaring booming in 2026 would be like Reagan all over again. It'd be the greatest economy of my lifetime. Well, it's here. Just a few headlines. First of all, I told you last week that the Atlanta Fed, which does all the predicting of each quarter's gdp, gross domestic product, the only measurement of economic growth that exists. And the Atlanta Fed predicted that the growth in economic growth in quarter four would be 5.4%. I reported that last week. The number is stunning. We haven't seen a number like that since Reagan years. It's been decades. Trump is doing it and that's the last quarter of last year. Now they come back and they revise the third quarter of last year, 2025, up from 4.3%, which was rip roaring fantastic, to 4.4%. So if things work out well, it's 4.4 in the third quarter and 5 plus in the fourth quarter. And now we've got the whole 2026. Also, jobless claims come in and they hover at the lowest level in 56 years since 1969. And then Trump goes to Davos, Switzerland and he gives a lecture to all the liberals of the world. And all the data and economic claims he makes have been confirmed. And I want to just go through a few of them. First of all, Trump says inflation is completely tamed. It may be 2.6% for the year, but for just the last three months, the average inflation figure is 1.6%. Unbelievable. That's with tariffs. Fourth quarter growth, 5.4% percent projection. Stock market all time highs set this year. He added 9 trillion in value to retirement accounts and savings accounts. 9 trillion. 1.2 million people lifted off food stamps in the last year. Trump secured commitments from 18 to 20 trillion dollars to invest in the US economy. He removed over 270,000 bureaucrats from federal payrolls. Largest single year cut since World War II. He cut federal spending by 100 billion. He cut 129 regulations for every one regulation. He passed the largest tax cut in American history. He slashed monthly trade deficit in one year by 77%. American exports up by 150 billion. Domestic steel production up by 300,000 tons per month. Factory construction up by 41%. Steel plants being built all over the country and more car plants being built than at any time in modern history. Fantastic news. All right, countdown number three. Well, more fantastic news again thanks to President Trump. It's officially signed an executive order when he came into office right away that we would withdraw as a country from the World Health Organization, the who that brought us masks and lockdowns and faulty Covid vaccines and a thousand other problems. Businesses closed, churches closed. Why are we listening to unelected bureaucrats from outside the United States? That was his executive order a year ago, after 77 years. This Week we officially withdrew. The United States withdrew from the globalist World Health Organization and reclaimed our national sovereignty from unelected bureaucrats. Countdown number two. A bit of great news for the COVID vaccine disaster story takes center stage in my top 10 again. The Texas Attorney General, my friend, great guy Ken Paxton, has announced he's starting an investigation into vaccine related financial incentives for pediatricians. They got paid, most of them Hundreds of thousands, many of them millions of dollars in bonuses by literally demanding and forcing and cajoling relentlessly that you have got to give your kids the COVID vaccine when not one kid in America ever needed the COVID vaccine. Doctors making millions off of pushing vaccines on you on behalf of Big Pharma. It's a massive conflict of interest. Great move, Ken Paxton. And now countdown number one. All right, you wait for it all week. It's time for my number one story. It's titled President Trump, There is a better way to empower ice. Here are some creative ideas guaranteed to succeed and make liberal heads explode. All right, so look, my belief is going into Blue Cities is not a great idea. It's a public relations disaster waiting to happen. The left is waiting with anticipation for more of their human shields to die at the hands of ice. In other words, they send people out there on purpose so they'll be injured or beaten or die at the hands of law enforcement or ice. And they could show it to the nation. Turn everybody against Trump, against the GOP, and against mass deportation. We are just a few liberal paid protesters getting killed away from losing the PR battle for good. And have you added up how much money we're spending right now per illegal? We arrest and deport? The numbers are insanely high. The dollars to capture just a few hundred or maybe a thousand in each city against the backdrop of anarchy. And it's all going way too slow. We have somewhere around 50 million illegals in America. At this rate, we may get rid of 8 to 10 million by the time President Trump's second term is up, which is great. Thank you, President Trump. No one else would have done it, only Trump. But it's not enough. The 40 million left inside America will settle in and keep voting. And we'll soon have children and grandchildren here forever. And they'll be voting. So I have a variety of creative ideas to help President Trump and MAGA win this war. Secure the border, deport the bad guys, and make America great again. And the big bonus is all of my ideas will drive liberals insane. Their heads are guaranteed to explode. Idea number one, change the name of ICE to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is what they are. A national agency that works in all 50 states, which means their new brand goes from ice to nice. Nice. Can you picture all these thousands of agents going into cities looking to arrest illegals with nice emblems on their uniforms and their SUVs? Picture the loony radical left's faces when they see Nice is Coming? It's a PR dream. We're now the good guys with positive branding. We're the nice guys. We're here to make your neighborhoods nice again. And the radical left, they don't like nice guys. Like it or not, everything in life's about image, branding and pr. You can't find a more positive change in imagery. From mean ice to happy nice Idea number two, the protesters are paid. Sign an executive order. President Trump banning organizations that provide paid protesters. Hiring paid protesters is a combination of un American fraud and acting. I've been to so many protests and rallies in my life. Tea Party, pro Trump MAGA rallies, Trump car parades, pro police rallies. I've set them all up in Las Vegas. They've been my rallies. I've never been paid a dime to attend. If I do, I attend of my own free will. That's called free speech, and that's what America's about. But if you're paid to protest, it's fake speech. You're a paid actor. Ban any company from providing fake paid actors. Idea number three. It's time to treat these radical, anti American, communist paid protesters harshly. No more kid gloves treatment. If they want to protest in the winter in Minneapolis or Chicago or Detroit, then bring out the water cannons and spray them with freezing water. That should send a strong message. In 10 degree weather or negative 10 degree weather. Good luck finding protesters, even paid ones, next time out after the word gets out that you're going to wind up like a popsicle in the dead of winter. Idea 4. Don't just hit them with water cannons. Dye the water red for communists. Red with dye that won't fade for days. Now it's easy to round them up and arrest them nice agents. Remember, we're not ICE agents anymore. We're nice agents. And the police can find them for blocks around the protest site for miles. They're red. They're the ones dyed bright communist red. And let's throw in one more deterrent. Add in skunk smell with the water. Trust me, all of this will cut down dramatically on protests. Who wants to freeze like a popsicle, be dyed bright red and smell like a skunk? Raise your hand. Anyone? I didn't think so. Idea number five. Once you arrest protesters, do not place them in local jails. The liberal sympathizers running these cities, politicians, judges, police chiefs, will let them go free within hours. No more. Anyone arrested at these violent protests should be bussed or flown to far away federal prisons. Or let's build big detention centers. So instead of being sent to a jail, a Few miles from your home, you'll find yourself in a federal prison or Detention Center 3,000 miles from home. Try this for a while and see how many liberals will show up for protests. Even if they're being paid, no amount of money is worth waking up in your own bed in Minneapolis and a few hours later find yourself in a cold concrete prison cell in Maine. Idea number six, the grand finale. I wrote this 90 days ago. I read this commentary on this show. It needs to be stated again, loudly. Stop sending ICE or hopefully we'll call them NICE soon. Into areas where violent and angry protesters and rioters block the streets and the politicians won't cooperate. It is wasting time and money and NICE agents. We have limited resources. Why waste it on cities that don't want us, that actively fight us? Mr. President, please announce a moratorium for one year. You will only send Nice into red cities and red states that welcome this federal force and agree to cooperate. And agree to provide local police to defend the NICE agents from any protesters. They won't do that in Minnesota, but they'll do it in a red city with a red mayor and a red governor. Why go where we're not welcome and face angry rioters and risk agents getting injured or killed? And risk the bad er of liberal protesters or rioters being killed? It makes no sense. Not when the radical left politicians are urging their citizens to fight agents in the streets. Not when those same politicians are giving advance warning to illegals that our agents are coming. They know we're coming and they're not even on the street waiting for us. So you gotta go into red cities where no one will give an advance warning. There's a better use of resources. Use nice, formerly known as ice, to clean out red cities and red states. With the cooperation of red governors, red mayors, red police chiefs make red cities and states a model for how great America can be without illegals. Without illegals, red cities and towns will be safe and clean with low taxes, the way America used to be. Meanwhile, illegals by the millions will run to blue cities where they are protected. No more illegals in red cities. They'll be gone. Blue cities will be overrun. They will suffer exploding crime, homelessness everywhere, drug markets on every corner. And they will all quickly drown under a sea of spending and debt. When the one year moratorium is up, send NICE into the blue cities to arrest the illegals. They'll be easy to find. They're all in one place. It will be like deporting fish in a barrel. Won't that be nice? Mr. President, I hope you can use some or all of my creative ideas to make America Great again. P.S. let's all have a nice day. Not an ice day. A nice day. You're all going through an ice day. I know how cold it is in most of the country. Have a nice day. That's it for this show. I'm Wayne out of the root. This is America's Top 10 Countdown. Every Saturday, noon Eastern, 9am Pacific, and then it reruns throughout the weekend.

Episode Date: January 24, 2026
Host: Wayne Allyn Root
Special Guest: Trisha McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary, Department of Homeland Security
This high-energy episode of "America's Top 10 with Wayne Allyn Root" takes aim at current political and cultural issues through a sharply conservative lens. Root delivers his signature "Top 10 Countdown," blending personal commentary, news highlights, and interviews—including a detailed, interview with Trisha McLaughlin of DHS. He focuses on border security, alleged government corruption, the economic record of Donald Trump’s administration, and several creative proposals for immigration enforcement, all wrapped in his characteristic MAGA enthusiasm.
“Alberta is everything Greenland is not... the perfect 51st state... Alberta is the American dream.” — Wayne Allyn Root (09:44)
“Democrats have weaponized the whole US government to steal and loot taxpayer money by the billions... it adds up to trillions.” (15:19)
“The Democrat party hates you, hates me, hates anyone who loves this country, hates MAGA.” (17:49)
“He promised he’d get inflation under control. He’s gotten it under control—1.6% inflation in the last three months.” (19:17)
“He tells the Canadian prime minister, Canada lives because of the United States. Always remember that.” (23:42)
“There is no global warming. It was always a scam…” (24:49)
Minneapolis ICE Operations:
Public Safety vs. Politics:
“This should not be a Republican or Democrat issue. This should be an American issue. This is about public safety, and yet they make it about politics.” — Trisha McLaughlin (32:16)
Fraud Investigations
Root’s Take:
“You guys are heroes, Trisha. And it’s just amazing that anybody would treat you the way they are… It just shows how insane the left is.” (32:32)
“We’re seeing a huge increase in the demand in the AI industry which is rapidly growing.” — Andrew Eaton (36:39)
Wayne Allyn Root
“America’s Top 10 Countdown—conservative patriotic talk on steroids squared to the thousandth power.” (04:33)
“This show is for people that get it. You’re both angry, but a happy warrior nevertheless.” (03:55)
Trisha McLaughlin, DHS
“The demonization you’re talking about of our law enforcement... is contributing directly to the fact that they are seeing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them. Death threats are up 8,000%.” (28:29) “Tim Walls turned over 470 criminal illegal aliens... [including] child pedophiles, drug traffickers, thieves, burglars, sexual predators, back onto Minneapolis street.” (27:58)
| Segment | Time | |-------------------------------------------|----------------| | Main Theme/Introduction | 03:55–06:12 | | “Make Alberta Great Again” Commentary | 06:20–13:58 | | Top 10 Countdown Begins | 15:12 | | DHS Interview Start (Trisha McLaughlin) | 27:03 | | DHS Interview Key Statements | 27:58–32:32 | | Gold and Silver Market Segment | 36:13–38:48 | | Final Four Countdown | 40:03 | | Creative Immigration Enforcement Proposals| 44:00–end |
This episode is a magnified snapshot of the MAGA worldview in early 2026, mixing hype for Trump, deep distrust of Democrats and mainstream institutions, and performative, sometimes satirical, policy proposals. Interviews bolster the show’s championing of law enforcement and tough immigration enforcement, while economic bragging rights are used to underline the “success” of conservative governance. For Root and his audience, it’s an affirmation of the MAGA brand—loud, proud, and eager for confrontation.
